#dailystruggle
The first month at Baruch College was rough for me. Before college began, I tried not to have too many expectations because everyone has a different college experience and you never really know how you’re going turn out by the end of your first semester. One thing I did know was that it would be a rude awakening. In high school, I was the queen of procrastination and had major senoritis, probably since sophomore year. My first few weeks at Baruch; I had to get used to the daily commute to and from school, waking up on my own without my personal alarm clock (my father), and balancing school and my social life. I had been very stressed and overwhelmed but I was able to learn to manage my time more efficiently so that definitely reduced my stress level. College has come with a lot more responsibility and I realized that we’re all on our own from now on, adults. As weeks passed, I have been truly amazed at how many activities, clubs, and special services that Baruch has to offer. Also, even though majority of our school are of Asian backgrounds, I’ve realized it still is pretty diverse compared to my high school. I love that I have made friends from many different places, it’s as if they make up the United Nations. To wrap it up, in semesters to come I plan to become more and more involved in different clubs that will help me break out of my comfort zone, maintain a great GPA, have lots of fun and make something of myself as Baruch helps me grown in to a more well rounded individual.
I understand how you feel completely. I came into college with the same mindset as you. It’s good you are enjoying yourself in college making friends and being involved in clubs.
